Sidorenko's conjecture asserts that every bipartite graph $H$ has the property that, for any host graph $G$, the homomorphism density from $H$ to $G$ is asymptotically at least as large as in a quasirandom graph with the same edge density…

The classical Weyl problem (solved by Lewy, Alexandrov, Pogorelov, and others) asks whether any metric of curvature $K\geq 0$ on the sphere is induced on the boundary of a unique convex body in $\R^3$. The answer was extended to surfaces in…

The Hausdorff-Young inequality for Euclidean space, in its sharp form due to Beckner, gives an upper bound for the Fourier transform in terms of Lebesgue space norms, with an optimal constant. The extremizers have been identified by Lieb to…

We study extremal properties of the function $$ F(x) := \min\{k\|x\|^{1-1/k}\colon k\ge 1\},\ x\in[0,1], $$ where $\|x\|=\min\{x,1-x\}$. In particular, we show that $F$ is the pointwise largest function of the class of all real-valued…

Babai's conjecture states that, for any finite simple non-abelian group $G$, the diameter of $G$ is bounded by $(\log|G|)^{C}$ for some absolute constant $C$. We prove that, for any untwisted classical group $G$ of rank $r$ defined over a…

Motivated by the open problem of exhibiting a subset of Euclidean space which has no exponential Riesz basis, we focus on exponential Riesz bases in finite abelian groups. We point out that that every subset of a finite abelian group has…

This paper shows that divisible abelian torsion groups are realizable as Brauer groups of quasilocal fields. It describes the isomorphism classes of Brauer groups of primarily quasilocal fields and solves the analogous problem concerning…

We consider when finite families $F \subseteq \mathbb{C}[t]$ of bounded degree polynomials, or more generally of bounded complexity finite-to-finite correspondences on $\mathbb{C}$, can exhibit non-expansion of the form $|F(A)| =…

In this paper we are interested in "optimal" universal geometric inequalities involving the area, diameter and inradius of convex bodies. The term "optimal" is to be understood in the following sense: we tackle the issue of…

We develop a comprehensive study on sharp potential type Riemannian Sobolev inequalities of order 2 by means of a local geometric Sobolev inequality of same kind and suitable De Giorgi-Nash-Moser estimates. In particular we discuss…

Convex duality has been leveraged in recent years to derive a posteriori error estimates and identities for a wide range of non-linear and non-smooth scalar problems. By employing remarkable compatibility properties of the Crouzeix-Raviart…

Let $n\ge1$ and $B\ge2$. A real-valued function $f$ defined on the $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ is approximately convex with respect to $\Delta_{B-1}$ iff f(\sum_{i=1}^B t_ix_i) \le \sum_{i=1}^B t_if(x_i) +1 for all $x_1,...,x_B \in \Delta_n$ and…

Let N be a square-free positive integer and let f be a newform of weight 2 on \Gamma_0(N). Let A denote the abelian subvariety of J_0(N) associated to f and let m be a maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra T that contains Ann_T(f) and has…

In this paper extremal problems for uniform hypergraphs are studied in the general setting of hereditary properties. It turns out that extremal problems about edges are particular cases of a general analyic problem about a recently…

By an $\ell$-group $G$ we mean a lattice-ordered abelian group. This paper is concerned with the category $\FP$ of finitely presented {\it unital} $\ell$-groups, those $\ell$-groups having a distinguished order-unit $u$. Using the duality…

We study, in a unified way, the following questions related to the properties of Pontryagin extremals for optimal control problems with unrestricted controls: i) How the transformations, which define the equivalence of two problems,…

We say that a set system $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ shatters a set $S\subseteq [n]$ if every possible subset of $S$ appears as the intersection of $S$ with some element of $\mathcal{F}$ and we denote by $\text{Sh}(\mathcal{F})$ the…

The simplex was conjectured to be the extremal convex body for the two following "problems of asymmetry":\\ P1) What is the minimal possible value of the quantity $\max_{K'} |K'|/|K|$? Here, $K'$ ranges over all symmetric convex bodies…

We study the extremal process associated with the Discrete Gaussian Free Field on the square lattice and elucidate how the conformal symmetries manifest themselves in the scaling limit. Specifically, we prove that the joint process of…
